So straight to the point: does this upcoming update gonna kill already dead player base?
Main reason- 5-th time grind same mg-34 and mp38/40 and kar98 variants as a german or 3rd time grind soviet stuff, cuz lets be hones: there is basically nothing new they could add in stalingrad campaign other than 3 new maps.
We have Hungarian and Romanian weapons. Devs said there will capturued and trophy weapon meaning the german might be getting a MP-717 (captured ppsh) but im guessing this one is going to be locked behind the full acces purchase

Oh no! The Germans using their most used weapons during the war? The humanity!
I don’t see the issue of grinding gear in a new setting. If you paid any attention to the news updates you would also see it’s more than three maps. They said they’re starting with Central Stalingrad before expanding to other popular locations. Not to mention there’s also the addition of Medics and Flamethrower tanks which so far are only unique to Stalingrad. This is aside from the fact they also said they are working on multiple new campaigns at the same time, so it would make the most sense this, being similar to Moscow, would release before a Pacific theatre campaign, which would require everything done for a new nation. Not to mention they would have to find a Japanese VA alongside get the details right so people don’t complain like they did with the Italians (IMO criticism is justified).

i hardly think it’s going to be a " nail in the coffin ".
because as i stated previously;
this decision is up to you.
you have the option to play it, or not.
no one is forcing you.
the reason why a 5th campaign is added, it’s because it attracts more of that playerbase.
which it will leads to possible outcomes.
the first one being, those people will play stalingrad for the entirety and once they are bored, they will try other campaigns.
the second is, they don’t like stalingrad, but still give a look at the others.
and lastly, those who will never touch the title ever again.
it’s still a win because of the first two scenarios type of people.
and to adress the last point, what do you expect, it’s 1943(ish).
we will have mixed weapons from moscow, tunisia and some of normandy.
which germany doesn’t have alot of equipment either.
we will might see the non scoped mkhb for assaulters, and more stuff that we don’t even know.

And yet, still same grind for same stuff. Kind of boring? Considering 80% of players in game are fill bots…
I am fine grinding the MP40 and K98k. Rheyre german weapons, theyre super iconic, and they will mostly be always the ones i will use in Stalingrad or Moscow. I like historically accurate squads.
And since i bought the Stalingrad pre-order ill be able to just enjoy the campaign, without crying about the grind. All wins for me.

Ok, give me 20 levels of German equipment for a 1943 campaign that haven’t been used before. Does the game get boring for you if you max out the campaign too? Instead of playing the main menu, you should probably play some actual matches where the fun should be had, and you won’t be as bored.

So how about do smtg thats not related to germans/russians? Like Pacific? Or they could move to korean era instead of milking same boring ww2 era…
Other point- why not just add this stalingrad update as map pack to moscow?
Because units that fought at Moscow are not same as units that attacked Stalingrad. We have squad system that uses real unit names that were in those battles, thats why they cant just add “map pack”.
Imo this system is better than what we have now, no microtransactions and boosted research, i dont have to care about upgrading squads as they will be fully upgraded.
No one is really forcing you to play it.
Also Pacific will take much more time to make then Stalingrad. Soo just be patient, Pacific will come, it just takes time.

As someone wiser said before me:
We get a new fantastic setting, historically recreated maps, new mechanics, new monetization system advantageous for us players… Nail in the coffin you say? Nail in a strong game foundation I say.
If the playerbase was as low as you say, Enlisted would not make money, and Gaijin would stop asking DF to pump so much new content. Let’s be honest here, they add A LOT of new things very, very often compared to most games out here.

I am still wondering why people get so angry about some squad that cannot be used for f2p in the progression of the campaign, these squads would have been monetized and those like me who cannot/does not want to spend excessively money would not have used them anyway

I don’t think its going to kill of the remaining player base yet its more than likely to bring more players in actually.
However i really do wish they would finish the current campaigns and flush them out with more content at all levels not just the end ones. For example Tunisia still feels rather unfinished on the equipment side and its been out for awhile now.
I hope they do not rush Stalingrad like they did Tunisia because if they keep pushing out unfinished campaigns its more than likely going to make people lose faith in the development of the game, thus sucking out the enthusiasm to play the game.
you are asked, to take the whole sentence
I believe it for ALL campaigns except Tunisia.

It all depends on the balance and gear.
I do not have proble to get my good old MP40 again as long as we get some unique stuff there.
The only thing that cold kill it is if people decide to ony play one side like it is the case in Tunisia.
